Wonder Woman 1984, Snyder Cut and more coming to DC FanDome event

As the world struggles to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, major fan events like the San Diego Comic-Con, Star Wars Celebration and Con of Thrones have been canceled. In the case of SDCC, Comic-Con International — the convention’s organizers — is gathering the artists, vendors and creators for an online event called Comic-Con@Home. That’ll happen on July 22-26, and will have everything fans expect from SDCC, but free and viewable from home.

However, for the second year in a row, DC won’t be a part of SDCC. Instead, it’s doing its own thing. The DC FanDome is a 24-hour virtual convention beginning at 1:00 p.m. EST on August 22. It’ll spotlight 16 DC television shows, including The CW’s library of series, as well as several DC movies. Fans will see content reveals, announcements and panels featuring the cast and creators of shows like Batwoman, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow, DC’s Stargirl, The Flash, Watchmen, Doom Patrol, Titans, Harley Quinn, Lucifer, Pennyworth, Supergirl, Superman & Lois, DC Super Hero Girls, Teen Titans GO! and Young Justice: Outsiders. On the movie side, there will be panels on Aquaman, The Batman, Black Adam, Shazam!, Justice League: The SnyderCut, The Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman 1984.

Much like SDCC, DC FanDome will have separate digital areas for all of its DC content. Here’s what’s in store:

• Hall of Heroes (special programming, panels, content reveals)
• DC WatchVerse (screenings, never-before-seen footage)
• DC YouVerse (user-generated content, cosplay, fan art; submit here)
• DC KidsVerse (family-friendly activations for younger fans)
• DC InsiderVerse (DC CCO Jim Lee, DC-Based Films chief Walter Hamada and Arrowverse creator Greg Berlanti offer an introduction to the DC Multiverse and introduce artisans from comic books, games, TV, movies, theme parks and more)
• DC FunVerse (digital giveaways and limited-edition exclusives)

As for what kinds of things might be revealed, a new trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, which would have been out already if not for the coronavirus, is a good bet. I also wouldn’t be shocked if we got a look at the Snyder Cut, which fans have been wanting for years. And is it too much to hope that they might announce a second season of Watchmen, maybe for HBO Max?

Very probably yes, but I can hope.
